Chapter 180Henry cocked his head, good, he could talk about business that sounded like a very good option to take his mind off stuff. "Alright, so can you forward the details to my email. I guess I can't get much done because of my phone limitation but we can still work around it. How is he doing?" Clara glanced at Pops who was still lying with his eyes shut tightly. "He has not moved since that time but I think we should be optimistic as the doctor had promised us. We'll soon be out of here." She replied cheerfully.A thought flashed across her mind,"Have you gotten something to eat?" Her stomach rumbled giving him the answer and she smiled sheepishly. "What are you doing to yourself by not eating? It's past noon." He scolded her, then made his tone soft, "You've been working tirelessly and I don't want you to break down. You need food as a fuel to get many things done. We don't want you hospitalized." Clara rolled her eyes at his overly concern. Of course he was going to sugges
Chapter 181The door split open with a bang startling Henry and he quickly rose from the chair. His eyes widened in horror as he saw a group of men in masks pointing guns at them.What happened to the door being bulletproof and anti breakable? He wondered as he moved backwards. His eyes went to the revolver that lay on the table he was resting his leg a few minutes ago. This is insane. He thought as he made a move to reach for it.A loud shot moved the gun backward, crashing it on the floor and George went on his knees. This was the end, there was nothing that they could do to help themselves. Where was Liam? Henry wondered. Surely he must have heard the bang. "It's great to see you here isn't it?" One of the men asked sarcastically and they stared at him. He walked forward, looking like the leader of the gang. Why the hell was he wearing a mask? Henty thought but moved stylishly towards the direction of the gun. He wasn't going down without a fight.His racing heart increased per m
Liam sat at the foot of the stairs and stared at the people in front of him. They were delusional if they thought that he'd want to have any conversation with them."Why can't you unveil yourself?" He replied instead and the leader chuckled. This was a ploy to make him reveal his identity. If he did, then everyone would be able to figure out where exactly he came from."I don't think that's appropriate or what do you think?" Liam counted slowly, his friends should be arriving anytime soon so if he could just keep them busy for the next few minutes, reinforcement would have appeared. "I don't think I want to have any discussion with you right now because that could be a slap on my face and intelligence." He responded rudely.The leader's eyes turned grim at the statement. Liam sure did have guts but the problem was that it wasn't going to take him anywhere. "I don't know why people tend to misbehave when they are in dire situations. What should we call this? Bravery or sheer stupidit
Chapter 183Clara didn't know how best to reply to that question. If he was truly a friend of Henry then he should know what was going on. " Oh, I think he's fine, getting better, but still unconscious though." She lied. Actually, that was one of the reasons she called Henry back apart from the loud bang she heard. Pops had woken up just a few minutes earlier. The doctor had come to check up on him and he was certified okay."Oh, is that so?" Ryan sounded genuinely perplexed and according to what he heard, they said he was dead. " Yeah, didn't Henry tell you? I thought you are his friend." She said, whatever he said now was going to be a litmus test right now. She knew the way these things worked and was trying to stall. After all, Henry would soon be out of the toilet. " Or aren't you close friends?" "We are, I guess he didn't want me to be worried about him" "I don't know him too well, but I know that he was a good man. Unfortunately, some set of stupid people are trying to sabot
Chapter 184Henry didn't waste time in locating the person who fired the shots. It was no one but Jess and he was shocked to his bone that she could even attempt to save them."I love you baby!" Liam jumped up immediately and pulled the trigger at Ryan causing him to stumble and almost hit the ground.George, sensing potential freedom, rose from his position and bundled towards Ryan who was rubbing his sore legs. It was a double bullet. He didn't wait till he recovered before falling atop him. Ryan was utterly shocked when he saw that the tables had turned. "Get off me, you oaf." He grunted from beneath George and tried to shake him off but found it hard to do that so he bit him.George, who was stubborn, persisted in making sure that he didn't leave.Henry also joined the party by knocking the gun out of his hands. Ryan was pretty helpless at this point, he bit George on the hand again, this time almost removing the chunk of flesh that surrounded his hand but George made sure that h
Chapter 185Caine and Fred came bursting through the door. " Everyone raise your hands above your heads." Caine ordered as he and Fred came bursting into the living room.Everyone stared at them as if they were aliens speaking gibberish. "Who is he?" Liam asked as his eyes casually strolled from the intruders to Henry.Henry sighed and balled his fists which were already losing sensitivity due to the excessive amount of blood. "Don't go all macho on him. You can call him my brother from another mother, he's been there even from the beginning of this issue." Liam's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he stared at the man in front of him. He couldn't remember where he knew him from but from the way he was behaving he knew that he was someone of great importance.Caine glanced at Fred before his eyes swung toward Liam and Ryan. This was somewhat a complicated issue because if it was left to him, he would have locked this man up. But with the situation at hand. It sounded unwise because this ma
Chapter 186George agreed without arguing one bit as he was drooped at the end of the road, he didn't waste any more time in making sure that there was anything holding him back as he bundled down the pavement and flagged down a cab. He was sure that they would take him to his doorstep. All he needed was to take a bath first then right after he could now start thinking about other things but for now, he would have preferred just staying away and waiting till there was nothing else to do. "That man is scarred. I don't think we should have let him go just like that. We know that he needed the money. He was just acting so that it didn't seem that way." Fred spoke from the rearview mirror.Caine nodded in agreement. He had other plans for the man but from experience he had known better than to allow anyone to come close to the family because it could be very frustrating if the person didn't know what was going on. It was more of a preservation. No one wanted to be involved with people th
*******Chapter 187Clara didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before placing a hand over her mouth, this was not the news that she wanted to hear. It was heartbreaking and at the same time she had to maintain a good front because Pops was in the room, staring at her. "That's great to hear. I thought that he was actually harmed. It's good to hear that he's well. Thank you Caine." She mustered a fake smile and Caine stared at his phone as if there was an alien living in it. Wasn't she the person who was angry a few minutes ago that things were hidden away from her? Yet she was telling him thank you. "Good. I'll talk to you later." He said and she nodded before hanging up abruptly and turned to see Pops staring at her. He wasn't talking at the moment but his eyes spoke volumes. He was probably thinking about what was happening to his grandson."Pops, what would you like to eat?" She asked him as she moved closer to his bed to stroke his hands.He shook his head slightly and she
